Wide Receivers

Tampa Bay's Mike Evans is projected for 15 PPR points in week 16 against the Panthers. He's at nearly 87% owned after just returning from a long absence.

Green Bay's Jayden Reed is set for 13 fantasy points against the Bears in week 16. He is currently rostered in 53% of leagues, and could take on more with Christian Watson banged up or out.

Chicago's D.J. Moore is projected for 12 points in the same contest. He's at 81% owned. Moore could handle more with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden both dealing with injuries.

Seattle's Cooper Kupp is set for 11 points in a favorable matchup against the Rams in week 16. He's currently rostered in 44% of leagues.

San Francisco's Ricky Pearsall is projected for 11 points in a favorable test against the Colts. He's at 73% owned, but needs to be monitored, as he got injured in week 15.

Minnesota's Jordan Addison is set for 11 PPR points in a favorable clash against the Giants. He's owned in 88% of leagues.

Tampa Bay's Chris Godwin is projected for 10 fantasy points against the Panthers. He is sitting at 85% rostered right now.

Atlanta's Darnell Mooney is another wideout projected for 10 PPR points. He will be facing the Cardinals, and is owned in 54% of leagues. His fantasy outlook would be better if Drake London is out again.

Buffalo's Keon Coleman is projected for 10 PPR points against the Browns in week 16. He sits at nearly 36% rostered.

Matthew Golden is another Packer who could step up if Watson is out. Golden is set for 10 points and is rostered in just 33% of leagues right now.

Kansas City's Isiah Pacheco is projected for 11 fantasy points in a test against the Titans. He sits at 67% owned.

No other running back is projected for 10 (or even nine) PPR points this coming week. That could change as the week progresses, so check the projections later in the week to see if anyone trends up.

Cleveland's David Njoku is set for 10 fantasy points in a tough test against the Bills. Njoku is rostered in 34% of leagues, and is dealing with an injury, so his status needs to be watched.

Quarterbacks

Chicago's Caleb Williams is set for 19 fantasy points against the Packers in week 16. He is owned in 84% of leagues right now.

New York Jets' Justin Fields is set for 18 fantasy points in week 16 against the Jets. He's owned in 13% of leagues. We'll have to see who the Jets start this week, as Fields and Tyrod Taylor are injured - Brady Cook started in week 15.
